FAIR GROUNDS.
Preparations for the Big Falr-Horses
Now On the Track.

A LEDGER reporter visited the Fair
grounds Thursday. Everything
about the place is being carefully ar
ranged for the coming Fair, which
promises at present to be the great
est and most successful ever held in
this part of the State. Already a
great many fine horses are on the
grounds, and judging from the num-
Der OF inquiries received by the Sec
retary Of the Association daily, there
will not be stall room for the horses
and other stock that will be brought
here, although a great many stalls
have been added since last season.
The stables Of G. Lacy are partic-
ularly noticeable, every stall being as
clean and we'll kept as the average
parlor. Lacy has in training Car
ter's Ayres' Hambletonian, vandalla
Joe and fine PAGER, besides any
number Of fine and fast horses, and
several young but promising animals.
Lacy has great faith in the Mexico
Fair and confidently predicts that the
coming one will be the best ever held
in North Missouri. Already early
morning visitors, lovers Of fine stock,
are numerous, and by the latter part
of this month the grounds will be a
popular resort during the cool hours
of the day. G. F. Clark, President
of the Association, has q fine stable
OF horses headed by the celebrated
stallion, Marshall 7.
